Description

“Say Hey” with the offered 1953-54 Briggs Meats Willie Mays regional type card. Although this elusive hot dog issue is lower grade due to a pinhole and a pair of vertical creases, the difficulty in acquiring this scarce Hall of Fame slugger makes up for any technical defect. Traces of the original red paneling are visible on the lower edge, while the waxy reverse displays typical hot dog grease markings. The “head and shoulders” portrait depicts an intense Mays at the outset of his legendary career.
